Though she failed to make much of an impact at Fairyhouse last time, SPLASHING OUT appeared to be on the right track prior to that and she could be the answer if responding well to the first-time cheekpieces. Theonewedreamof scored on the Flat last month and, having also performed well on her latest start in this sphere, she looks dangerous. She's Tobias is third choice, while Cool Croi may well leave her previous hurdles efforts behind now pitched into a handicap.
